Income specific to Indigenous Australians

What is income

profits you get from a business - this is the money it makes after you take out the costs it needs to pay

money from investments or savings

This includes money from:

any sort of work

sales of arts and crafts

some special types of income to do with Indigenous lands and Indigenous skills

Any money you get may count in your income test. This means it could change your payments from us.

If you have any income or investments outside Australia, they also count as income you need to tell us about.

If you have a partner, their income counts as yours too.

When to let us know about changes

If you or your partner get any income, your payments may change. It’s important to tell us quickly about any changes to your or your partner’s income. If you don’t, we may pay you too much. If you owe us money, we'll work with you to make a plan to pay the money back.
